The Journey of Projection Upgrading
Chapter 213: Omen

Within the Haoshan Sect, status is still valued.

After ordinary disciples are admitted, although they can learn many things, the truly important parts are not open to them.

For example, various precious alchemy formulas and information, as well as scriptures for cultivation.

It goes without saying that the scriptures that the elders possess are unique to them, even the Haoshan Scriptures specifically used for ordinary disciples within the Haoshan Sect, it is a bumpy road for ordinary disciples to obtain them.

The methods before the fifth level of Qi Refining can be obtained directly, as long as the cultivation base reaches it. However, it is difficult to obtain the Haoshan Scriptures after the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Only by meeting strict conditions and making significant contributions to the Haoshan Sect can one obtain them.

As for the inheritance after Qi Refining?

Forget about it, that belongs to the elders exclusively.

Without being accepted as a disciple under an elder, it is impossible to obtain the corresponding inheritance.

Naturally, there are a lot of dissatisfied people.

But what can they do?

In the eyes of many elders of the Haoshan Sect, the lower-level disciples are just tools. Being able to embark on the path of cultivation is already a great favor. Do they dare to ask for more?

Isn't it asking for rebellion?!

Well, indeed it is asking for rebellion.

Chen An and the group behind Song Qing have been cooperating for a while, and they have a clear understanding of what they want to do.

Frankly speaking, they want to rebel against the Haoshan Sect, and they are truly determined to achieve this goal, preparing to implement it.

What's more terrifying is that a large number of lower-level cultivators within the Haoshan Sect are probably members of their group.

This is easy to understand.

The cultivation within the Haoshan Sect is extremely difficult. Apart from the elders and their disciples, everyone else is just a tool, completely cutting off any hope of further progress.

For example, Wei Li, who has already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, doesn't he want to advance further and try to break through to the Core Formation stage?

Surely he does.

But in the current system within the Haoshan Sect, this requirement is impossible to achieve.

Since that is the case, they can only rebel.

And there are definitely many people like him within the Haoshan Sect.

Even Chen An himself is extremely dissatisfied with the various rules of the Haoshan Sect.

Wanting something from the Haoshan Sect is extremely difficult.

On the contrary, the group of people led by Song Qing, as long as you pay, they will give you whatever you want, no matter what.

This is the ideal partner for cooperation.

Through cooperation with Song Qing and others, Chen An has been living quite comfortably recently.

Because he doesn't have to go through the Qingfeng Pavilion for distribution, he has been quite bold during this period, and under full force, he has been producing a large quantity of pills every day.

The terrifying amount of pills, when seen by people like Wei Li, left them in shock and almost took a cold breath.

Before meeting Chen An, they never thought that pills could be refined in this manner.

More importantly, even though Chen An refines pills every day in large quantities, the quality of each furnace is basically good, with the lowest being a good product.

Stable like a robot.

This is truly heart-wrenching.

Looking back at their own difficult alchemy process, and then looking at how easy and effortless it is for Chen An to refine pills as if it were eating and drinking, they can't help but feel some doubts about life.

However, besides that, they are satisfied with their cooperation this time.

Both sides got what they wanted.

Chen An obtained the alchemy formulas and scriptures he wanted, and Wei Li, Song Qing, and the others obtained a large number of risk-free pills from Chen An.

It can be said that both sides got what they needed.

The cooperation between the two sides was quite pleasant.

And the more pleasant their cooperation was, the closer Chen An was to his goal.

"Hmm?"

One night, Chen An suddenly looked up, somewhat surprised, and looked ahead.

Under his gaze, there was a faint aura of demonic cultivators suddenly surging in various places.

This aura was very subtle, hidden very well, not to mention ordinary people, even a legitimate Golden Core cultivator would probably not be able to detect it.

With the blessing of the Core Formation Technique, Chen An was able to grasp some details and thus sense the existence of this aura.

How come there is suddenly a demonic aura in the Haoshan Sect?

Chen An couldn't help but feel puzzled.

He knew that there were definitely a large number of demonic cultivators hidden within the Haoshan Sect. Many cultivators who appeared normal on the surface were probably members of the demonic cultivators, just lurking within the Haoshan Sect.

But even so, exposing their aura directly, isn't that a bit too arrogant? Aren't they afraid of being discovered?

Chen An felt puzzled, but quickly realized.

"Are they finally going to make their move?"

This thought flashed through his mind.

In his view, the sudden appearance of this anomaly could only prove one thing.

The group behind Song Qing and Wei Li were finally going to make their move.

Calculating the time, it seems that it's about time.

As early as two to three months ago, Song Qing had discreetly hinted to Chen An that they would soon make a move against the Haoshan Sect.

At that time, Chen An didn't think too much about it and just casually agreed.

But judging from the current situation, their actions are indeed very fast.

They are ready to make their move.

Oh well.

Chen An just silently watched, not intending to get involved.

On the contrary, he had already made plans to run away.

The preparations for running away were something he had planned for a long time, but due to previous constraints, he had not been able to implement it.

After all, even if he wanted to run away, he had to empty out everything in the Haoshan Sect, right? It's almost there now.

As for the various alchemy formulas in the Haoshan Sect's pharmacy, the valuable ones had already been obtained by Chen An through the demonic cultivators, although there were still some omissions, but the remaining ones were not that important.

As for the Haoshan Scriptures of the Haoshan Sect, he had also obtained them, at least there was no problem with cultivation before Core Formation.

With everything he wanted in hand, there should be no problem next.

After thinking for a while and confirming that he didn't miss anything, Chen An began to prepare to pack up.

His luggage was not much, or rather, most of the important things were kept with him in the White Tower, so the remaining things were not that many.

After tidying up, Chen An did not leave immediately.

There is a mountain guarding array within the Haoshan Sect. Without the token, it is impossible to leave, otherwise it will alarm the array and cause a disturbance.

This is not the result Chen An wants.

So he decided to follow the proper procedure.

That is, to accept a task within the Haoshan Sect and then leave directly with the token given by the Haoshan Sect.

This is the proper procedure for a cultivator leaving the sect.

This was how Chen An left before.

Early the next morning, Chen An rushed to the main hall, intending to take on a task that would allow him to leave.

His plan was very well thought out. Once he accepted a task, he would leave the Haoshan Sect and run away directly.

By then, all the grievances within the Haoshan Sect would no longer be his concern, and whether he lived or died would not matter.

However, the reality proved that he was being too naive.

"Not even one?"

Looking at the miscellaneous disciple in front of him, Chen An's face showed a look of surprise.

"Indeed, Senior Brother."

The miscellaneous disciple responsible for registration in front of him looked helpless, with a strange look on his face. "Senior Brother, I also find it strange."

In the past, there were always a lot of errands and tasks within the Haoshan Sect.

Either a certain place needed someone to guard it, or someplace needed to be investigated. In any case, there were many odd jobs to be done.

However, the number of people willing to leave and complete tasks was quite small.

There was no way around it. Everyone was unwilling to leave the Haoshan Sect.

For cultivators, the environment within the Haoshan Sect is unique.

The entire Haoshan Sect is built on spiritual veins, with large formations guarding everywhere, sealing off spiritual energy and divine essence.

Living here, even if it's just an ordinary place, it is equivalent to a treasure land, a great place for cultivation.

Being within the Haoshan Sect is not only beneficial for cultivation, but other things like elixirs and treasures can also be found, just by paying some spirit stones.

Almost everything can be found here. But what about the outside world? Desolate spiritual energy, ordinary mortals everywhere, there is no place for cultivation and no fellow practitioners to interact with. It's even difficult to buy a few elixirs.

So, the tasks assigned outside the sect generally involved unpleasant jobs that nobody wanted to do. Even if they were paid, not many people were willing to do them.

In the past, because no one was willing to do them, these tasks were often left vacant in the Haoshan Sect, so as long as someone was willing to do them, they could usually be found.

But now, these tasks have disappeared altogether.

It feels too deliberate.

Needless to say, this is definitely the work of those demonic cultivators.

The reason is simple, they want to wipe out the entire Haoshan Sect, swallow it whole if possible.

The Haoshan Sect's value lies not only in its spiritual veins and formations but also in the tens of thousands of cultivators within it who are equally important assets.

Once they capture the Haoshan Sect, these will all become their property.

Naturally, they have to find a way to block it, to prevent them from taking actions that could lead to losses for them.

By canceling all the tasks assigned outside the sect, it becomes impossible to run away, even if one wanted to.

Chen An thought for a moment, then didn't pay too much attention to it, just looked at the miscellaneous disciple in front of him. "I am Chen Changming, a disciple of the Medicine Hall. If you come across similar tasks in the future, please inform me as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he took out two elixirs.

Elixirs were not precious items, they were just two high-quality Small Yuan Elixirs, which were completely worthless to Chen An now.

But for the low-cultivation, even those who hadn't opened their Purple Mansion yet and could only serve as cheap laborers like the miscellaneous disciple, this was clearly a different story.

Receiving the elixirs, the miscellaneous disciple in front of him brightened up. "Sure, sure."

"Senior Brother, you can go back and wait for the news. If I come across similar tasks, I will visit you as soon as possible."

He readily agreed to Chen An's request.

It wasn't a big deal anyway.

Just running an errand to deliver a message could earn two elixirs, which was a profit no matter how you looked at it.

Chen An nodded, then left.
